The fight is in many ways more simple than Firemaw as the debuff does not stack and therefore tanks do not need to hide to lose debuff stacks. As of patch 1.11, it is no longer possible to avoid the Fire Nova by utilizing line of sight, so it will damage all members of the raid when it is active. He only does the Fire Nova when enraged, which can be dispelled by Tranquilizing Shot (looted from Lucifron). Flamegor will enrage every 10 to 15 seconds, so it is critical that multiple hunters have a well-coordinated Tranquilizing Shot rotation. Otherwise he does no more damage than Ebonroc. Tank him like Firemaw, the enrage debuff can get 1k + dmg on your raid if not dealt with fast enough. Have a dedicated healer for the off tanks and hunters, they will be taking the most fire and wont have time to care for themselves.

Avoid shadow flames.

Flamegor is the third of the three drakes in Blackwing Lair after Ebonroc and before Chromaggus. He is most similar to Firemaw, with his major ability being based on line of sight or LoS. In common with Firemaw and Ebonroc he can drop the Tier Two Epic Set gloves along with other epic items.

When tanking Flamegor measures have to be made, as with the other drakes, to protect against wing buffet and shadowflame. Onyxia Scale Cloaks are recommended, at least for all warriors. In a similar vein to Firemaw he has a fire effect based on line of sight, Fire Nova; however this will do around 550 fire damage rather than increasing fire damage taken. This ability is used roughly every five seconds and only when enraged. Firemaw will also enrage a-la Magmadar, which can be removed with Tranquilizing Shot.

The fight is in many ways more simple than Firemaw as the debuff does not stack and therefore tanks do not need to hide to lose debuff stacks. Casters only need to hide to bandage themselves when they receive too many fire novas. It should be noted that he is tanked in the same position and therefore you will need an agile hunter adept at pulls (Baron Geddon & Shazzrah as practice?) to bring him into range of the tank. He only does the Fire Nova when frenzied, which can be dispelled by Tranquilizing Shot (looted from Lucifron). Otherwise he does no more damage than Ebonroc. Tank him like Firemaw, the frenzy debuff can get 1k + dmg on your raid if not dealt with fast enough. Have a dedicated healer for the off tanks and hunters, they will be taking the most fire and wont have time to care for themselves. Avoid shadow flames.

Comment by insane6

this is actually a very easy boss, as usual with these boss fights, dps and heals behind and tank infront. You seriously dont need vent, unless your 40 level 60's which i thought were an insane amount of people. These days, 999k is the amount of health the trash mobs have in 25mans heroics.......but still, this boss has very good loot and a good amount of gold, you could probably solo this....

No real need for a video. As a prot paladin, this was a walk in the park. I had resist aura on for all the fire and shadow. Beyond that, his enrage was a trivial aspect of the fight. One that I could heal through even if Blizz continues with their published intentions of giving prot a 20 sec CD on WOG.

Fire Mage (90, ilvl 470)Dps down. Even with his enrage he still didnt bust down my ice barrier.

No knock back. Fought in centre of room.

Comment by Dannardi

Killed as a lvl 85 fury warrior.

The knock back hit a couple times, other than that it was an uneventful fight.

Comment by Morbius

Soloed this with my 85 DK in blood spec wearing Jade Forest greens and auction house blues. My equipped item level is 417. The Firemaw, Ebonroc and Flamegor fights are all the same, just tank and spank. Fight them in a corner to negate their knockback.

Flamegor

Flamegor is the sixth boss in Blackwing Lair. He shares a loot table with two other drakes in the instance--while all three can drop tier gloves, they also can drop no gloves at all, making tier 2 gloves the hardest piece of the set to obtain.

He used to require his tank to wear an Onyxia Scale Cloak, but that has been changed so it is no longer required.
